<p>I'M SO EXCITED FOR THEM! I'm thinking kayaks? canoes? I heard there's organic farming and the people just ate the whole time.</p>
<p>Yum...</p>
<p>Link to DOC trips</p>
<p>Yup, one of my friends here did organic farming. She really liked it, and you do get to eat the produce all the time. Fresh corn, just go up and pick it, etc...It will be some of the best few days of your life, my trip was incredible!</p>
<p>oh man i cant wait....:-D</p>
<p>Oh, how are we supposed to choose? They all sound like way too much fun!</p>
<p>hmm..backpacking and rock climbing sound like fun</p>
<p>i feel like i'm adventurous enough to do them...but ROCK climbing??</p>
<p>do you hafta be a pro rock climber to do that.....or is it something where you can learn?</p>
<p>My alum interview told me that there are all different levels for each of the differnet events. She gave me the example of backpacking. There are easy trips which dont hike that much, for those who havn't backpacked before. and there is also like gung ho, 30 miles in 2 days backpacking for those interested (probably me if i dont do climbing). </p>
<p>For rock climbing, i am guessing, there will probably be boldering/easy top rope for those who havent done it before and then challenging lead climbs for more advanced kids.</p>
<p>now if only i still remember how to lead climb...</p>
<p>Ok Im a 9...
There are several levels of hiking,(leisurely, easy, moderate, strenuous, and advanced)...i did easy hiking and I have never hiked before....it was an experience I will never forget. I walked 22 miles of Appalachian Trail...lol...it beautiful and a great chance to meet people and the Lodge is soooo cool...some of my trippees are some of my best friends...definitely do a doc trip...</p>
<p>I concur with jblackboy--DO NOT miss out on a DOC trip! </p>
<p>I did strenuous hiking, section G. Those five days were amazing, from playing "wah!" out on the Green to camping high on the freezing slopes of Moosilauke to meeting eccentric Appalachian Trail thruhikers. We swam in what was described as "nature's jacuzzi"--ice cold, that is--and square danced the night away at the Lodge. I remain good friends with the rest of the group to this day.</p>
<p>Most students are placed into hiking.
You have to be lucky to get into canoing/kayaking because too many students applied for that.</p>
<p>Ha yea i'm so excited...My only problem is I don't know what to pick...I love art so I'd be happy with the watercolor or photography ones, but I'd also want to do ice climbing or canoeing or one of those kind! Decisions decisions :)</p>
<p>chris- how many miles did you hike per day for the strenuous hike?</p>
<p>We only averaged six I think--though one day we did a few extra climbing the bulk of Moosilauke--and around 5000' total climbing (though my roommate who also did strenuous on a different route did 7000'+). Because of the heavy packs, the uphills kicked my butt more than 20-mile one-day treks I'd done in the past, but I would still do it all over again.</p>
<p>I think some friends who did easy hiking did similar distances, albeit flatter and w/o heavy packs.</p>
<p>@skiingforgym: I doubt they'd have ice climbing--even Tucks on Mt. Washington probably isn't iced up that time of year--but there is a rock climbing trip.</p>
<p>I take it from your problems chousing that we can only pick one trip, sounds great. How can we get into canoeing?</p>
